Shuttle to Notre Dame

Shuttle to Notre Dame with Tim’s Tours!

Ride one of the Tim’s Tours shuttle buses from your Mishawaka area hotel to Notre Dame and don’t worry about parking expenses, long walks, or traffic tie-ups!

Tim’s Tours 2019 Football Shuttle to Notre Dame Stadium (FALL 2019):

You do not need a reservation-just be ready to hop on the bus with your fare. Each hotel will have information at the front desk, or you can check out our frequently asked questions below. If you have any other questions, please submit an inquiry through our website here, or send an email directly to contact@tims-tours.com

We drop off at the Hammes Bookstore/ Eck Visitor Center and it’s just a short walk to the Stadium; a much shorter walking distance than if you actually park on or near the campus. The fare is $10 per person each way, or $15 Round Trip. Buses are first-come, first-serve and stop at the Mishawaka/Granger area hotels listed below:

The bus is on a route and will make stops at specific times, which can be found on a flyer at the front desk of your hotel. If no one is waiting, the bus will proceed to its next stop. You can also find shuttle times here: http://tims-tours.com/notre-dame-stadium-shuttle/

Do the guests have to make reservations?

No. We do not accept advanced reservations.

Do front desk personnel need to call the drivers to tell them if people are waiting?

No, again the bus is on a route and will make stops at each hotel. If no one is waiting, the bus will proceed to its next stop.

I’m not staying at one of the hotels listed above- Can I still use your shuttle?

Yes! We recommend parking and catching the shuttle at the Holiday Inn & Conference Center at 1208 E Douglas Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46545 as they have ample parking at the conference center.

Does Tim’s Tours take credit cards for payment?

No, drivers can only collect cash payments. You may pay $10 for a one-way trip or $15 for round trip. If you pay for the round trip option, you will be given a token which is good for the return trip after the game.

Where does the shuttle drop off?

The shuttle drops off and picks up exclusively at the Hammes bookstore ON Notre Dame campus (next to the visitor center). The shuttle runs more efficiently having only one pickup and drop off location.

What time(s) do the return shuttles leave Notre Dame (post-game)?

End of the Third Quarter

When Bus is Full or 15 minutes after the game ends

When Bus is Full or 30 minutes after the game ends

When Bus is Full or 45 minutes after the game ends

2 hours after the game ends

2 hours, 20 minutes after the game ends

2 hours, 40 minutes after the game ends

3 hours after game ends (LAST SHUTTLE)

Return shuttle times are also posted on the flyer located at the front desk of each hotel. If a bus fills up prior to its listed time, it will depart early, which is typical for the first departing shuttles after the game ends. Each shuttle is first-come, first-serve.

Will we have to wait for a shuttle after the game ends?

The first post-game shuttles typically fill up fast and take the most time to return to campus because of peak ridership levels and heavy traffic caused by 80,000 people leaving the stadium at the end of the game. If you prefer a shorter ride back to your hotel, it is highly recommended that you grab dinner after the game and plan on taking one of the shuttles departing 2 hours or later after the game ends (when fewer people ride and traffic levels return to normal). If there are no buses waiting, please be patient as the shuttles will return to campus as soon as possible up to 3 hours after the game ends.

Can we take a shuttle back to our hotel before the game starts?

You may catch one of the shuttles dropping off at Notre Dame and ride it back on its next round of pickups. *Note, the last shuttle TO the game does not return to the hotels-you must catch one of the earlier shuttles.

Which bus(es) do we look for at Notre Dame?

There will be many buses. You may get on any Tim’s Tours bus. All other buses go to different locations.

How late does the shuttle stay out making return trips after the game is over?

The last shuttle departs from the bookstore on ND campus 3 hours after the end of the game.
